DYSTOPIA: STRICTLAND | ATEEZ (DISCONTINUED)
5

"EVERYTHING READY!! LET'S DEFEND THE SHIP! DON'T LET THEM WIN!" Hongjoong exclaimed in spirit. His eagle eyes followed every move of the opposing ship.

"Hyung, we're gonna be okay, right?" Wooyoung asked. The fear in his heart was gone. However, the doubt to attack still filled his mind.

Wooyoung was not unwilling to take up arms and defend the ship. But, Wooyoung has a not-so-pleasant past. The shadows of the sound of punches, shouts and cries, gave Wooyoung a headache. That caused Wooyoung to experience stress, until depression.

Once upon a time, Wooyoung got unpleasant treatment from her schoolmates. Wooyoung became a victim of bullying. He was beaten up by several students wearing the same uniform as him. If San had not seen the bullying, Wooyoung might not have been with them.

The pain of the blow, the painful hum of the screams, became a reason why Wooyoung was reluctant to fight back. Since childhood Wooyoung had already felt how painful it was to withstand a blow. He does not want to do the same to others. Because being a boxing bag is very painful. Wooyoung does not want to be labeled as a criminal who likes to hit people.

"Calm down, Woo. I'm with you. We're right here. We fight does not mean we become criminals. We are just trying to defend what we have" Hongjoong said. As captain Hongjoong also had to ensure that all of his ship's crew could control themselves properly. Let no one be caught off guard and hurt. Hongjoong hoped that no one would be seriously injured in their first fight.

Mingi still faithfully noticed the motions of the opposing ship. The weapons prepared by Yeosang and Yunho were enough to fight back. They also learned how to use guns and cannons. Mingi was confident they could win if they continued to trust each other and cooperate. When he saw Wooyoung who was slightly disoriented, his heart was pinched. After all, Wooyoung was one of the people who had a great influence on his life. Mingi was always amused by Wooyoung's presence around her. If you feel sad, Wooyoung is the first to cheer him up. Give words of tranquility. Now, Mingi felt Wooyoung needed that.

"Young, you know what? People say if you want to get something, then you have to fight to get it. That something you won't be able to accomplish, if you just keep quiet. Just like now. If you don't want our ship taken, you should be able to defend it. At least don't let yourself get hurt" the long words just popped out of Mingi's mouth. His friends confirmed what Mingi had said inwardly.

THE DUAR!!! THE DUAR!!!

For a moment they stared. The sound of the explosion was buzzing in their ears. Finally, the opposing ship began to show assault.

"CAPTAIN!! YOUR ORDERS!" seonghwa's cry resuscitated Hongjoong. Then with his arrival, Hongjoong said, "BEAR THE SHIP! DON'T LET THEM WIN!! ATTACK!!!!"

Eight of them immediately ran. Take out the weapons and prepare the cannons. Two ships face each other. Cannons pointed at each other. Preparing to spew balls that will destroy the ship.

Hongjoong could clearly see the state of the opposing ship. The pirate with the red flag looked down at Hongjoong. The two of them collide with each other. Highlights eyes full of hatred, resentment and anger mixed into one. Their eyes locked on each other. A aura of hostility exuded strongly.

Hongjoong stands on Jongho and San apits. There was no face at all. The three wore flat expressions. Moreover, they heard the first sentence throws from their opponents. Made the young man brandish a weapon.

"You snot boys don't know anything. Surrender, free fight. Lest I drown you all", the words of the opposing captain must have ignited the emotions of the eight young men.

"try it. You think it's easy to beat us?" Hongjoong replied with a raised corner of his lips. Featuring a charming but dangerous grin at the same time.

Seonghwa bet it. If it were not in this tense state, there would be many women who fell in love with Hongjoong. The charm that the young man had was very powerful. Cannot be defeated. In fact, the opposing captain was fixated for a moment. Hongjoong, dangerous. Seonghwa.

"ATTACK!!!" that word made Seonghwa directly aim at the opponent. The target didn't miss. He managed to subvert several crew members in a matter of seconds. His ability to use a rifle is excellent.

One by one, the opponents began to board Hongjoong's ship. They started close combat. Finally, they face each other directly. Hongjoong could not clearly see the opponent's face.

"Captain Lei. As soon as they called me" said captain Lei, introducing himself. Although his work was dirty, Captain Lei did not forget his manners. He politely introduced himself to Hongjoong. Captain Lei's face was covered with a mask. However, Hongjoong found out that captain Lei was grinning at him.

"Captain Hongjoong, my name is. Nice to get acquainted with you", after retaliating, Hongjoong immediately attacked without a gap. He did not give the slightest pause to Captain Lei to retaliate.

Not far from Hongjoong's place, there was Yunho trying to dodge the opponent's attack. With his makeshift ability Yunho attempted to cripple the opponent. His movements are agile and powerful. The opponent had difficulty replying to Yunho's attack. The fight was won by Yunho who managed to slash the opponent's stomach.

Just as Yunho mastered the game, Yeosang also shrewdly shot at opponents one by one. Nearby, Jongho aimed a cannon muzzle at the opposing ship. The two work together. Very effective to make opponents fall.

"Hyung, your shot is absolutely right. No one misses", Yeosang smiled and received praise from Jongho. He took the time to destroy Jongho's mane.

"Later I will teach you. Now focus again. That cannon shot at the opposing ship", Jongho nodded. He refocused himself on aiming at the opponent's ship. Jongho was furious. It was very eager to sink the opponent's ship. Therefore, the youngest chose to destroy the opponent's ship.

Wooyoung and San turned their backs on each other. They are most heavily surrounded by opponents. San held tightly to his sword. He's got a defensive attitude. Stand by and attack. San also made sure that Wooyoung was unharmed. Although San knew, Wooyoung could fight back, he was still worried that his friend was hurt.

No different from San, Wooyoung also felt the same way. Wooyoung worries about San always blocking opponents from reaching for him. Though Wooyoung can also fight them with his own strength.

"LET ME FIGHT SAN!" too furious, Wooyoung shouted. His voice made San's ears buzz. With a heavy heart, San walked away. Give Wooyoung a chance to fight back.

The fight between the two pirate groups is getting hotter. No one wants to give up at all. They are both tough and strong. The desire to defend the ship was very strong. Encouraging them to fight to the point of the final blood.

A few hours have passed. There are no signs the fight is over. Hongjoong was already exhausted. A sweat pours from his face. His body had a lot of injuries. Just like his other friends. No one was not hurt.

Tired of hitting his body. Wooyoung lost her focus. This was certainly not wasted by Captain Lei. Many of his crew members have been destroyed. There are only a few left. The sense of prestige that enveloped Captain Lei, made him reluctant to give up.

"STOP OR I'LL KILL HIM!" Captain Lei took Wooyoung hostage. The sword that had been clanking with Hongjoong's sword, was now perched sweetly on Wooyoung's neck. Feeling the cold iron greet the skin of his neck made Wooyoung tremble. His eyes widened, his lips tightly closed.

"REMOVE WOOYOUNG!!" Yunho shouted while pointing a gun at the head of Captain Lei. Ignoring Yunho's shout, Captain Lei walked towards the edge while carrying Wooyoung. Yunho did not move. His hand wanted to press the trigger, so that the hot lead could pierce through the body of Captain Lei. But, he was afraid that his shot missed and instead injured Wooyoung.

"You didn't dare to do it, did you? I'll take him. At least I'm not alone"

"AAAAAAAHHHHH"

Captain Lei immediately threw himself together with Wooyoung into the ocean. Wooyoung's shout was the last they heard. The eight young men were stunned for a moment. Digesting what just happened. Seonghwa was the first to come to his senses. Just before Seonghwa jumped in, Mingi held him back.

"Young WOO!!!"

That day, after their first battle, Wooyoung left. Leaving the seven of them with sorrow that shackled in the heart.
